Hello everyone,

Finding a job in Belgium is no easy feat. From applying for a job all the way to job interviews, the etiquette can be different abroad. Specially job interviews, that can already be pretty daunting, can feel even worse when set in a whole new country. If youve gone through a job interview in Belgium before, how about giving a few tips to someone who might be preparing for one?

Do interviews usually take place in a formal or casual setting in Belgium? Do you have any pointers for job interviews that take place over a lunch or dinner?

From application all the way to the job interview, what is essential to make an candidate stand out?

Culturally speaking, are there specific dos and donts? What is the general take on bringing a parent on the job interview or a gift to the interviewer?

Can you tell us a little about your experience? What worked and what did not work for you?

How important is it to have a solid professional network prior to a job interview?

Please share your experience,

Priscilla

Hi
Only if your technical skills more than their demand and even local language is really not required for same job they call for interview. But mostly employers look at language level and if you can't afford you will Not be in the call list for interview.
